Now I am deciding whether I should continue

Post by Tdarcos »

I have a few points to make.

I'm also getting to the point that people I thought were friends here - and maybe I was completely clueless and mistaken to start with - have turned into something miserable and nasty. Especially Pinback; usually getting married mellows a person. In his case it looks like getting married has made him even more vituperative and turned him into a bastard-grade son-of-a-bitch.

Jonsey got mad at me again - after the first item about song lyrics - because he has found yet another reason he doesn't like how I write my messages. So he's said he's going to expunge what I write if I include quotes any further.

It's his place and he can do what he wants.

But I felt the tone he has used was extremely nasty and rude. I am getting to the point that I am too old and too tired to accept being insulted any further.

So I'm considering just dropping the whole Web-Based Hugo Interpreter. I can use the money, but part of it is, it's getting to the point that things just aren't fun any more. There is a thing to be said for doing something special that hasn't been done before, but on the other hand, I want to be able to respect myself.

I suppose I'll finish the damn thing because I want the money. But sometimes I think I should just walk away; just quit and not return. What I think I will do is go back to the program and work on it to the exclusion of just about everything else. Maybe if I cool down a little it might change my mind.

But at this point I'm wondering if it's even worth it.
